When did you teach your DS to pee standing?

DS was a super awesome potty trainer. He is younger than DD was and he's dry all night. Anyway, he's recently taken an interest in peeing while standing...like anywhere in the house. I'm thinking we might curb that by teaching him to pee standing at the potty. He's been fully trained for a month.

How long after your boys traied did you introduce the stand and pee method? I feel like he's so young to be given that ability to potentially soak my house with urine.

My son peed sitting down for most of 2 years. It definitely helped that he didn't have a dad to see and get "ideas" from. It wasn't until he went to a hockey game with his grandpa and saw his grandpa pee standing up that he decided (on his own) to try it and actually was quite successful. Not too many accidents - sometimes at night when he's tired and he's basically standing at the toilet half asleep with his eyes closed he'll miss. I just have to keep reminding him that he has to hold on and aim - he tends to go "hands free" most of the time.

I never mentioned it. He just told me one day a few months or so ago that he wanted to pee like daddy. Daddy wasn't home so mommy got that privilege. I had him pull his pants to his ankles, we lifted the seats, I told him where to direct it and shake...lol.
